Another from u/RedSpaceMagic. This tea has been a hit here. I’ve made a few pots with friends and it has gotten a lot of compliments.
It’s a pretty, loosely-rolled oolong. Looks almost like collard greens as it unfurls in the infuser. I served it in a glass teapot, putting the pale yellowy green on display. The aroma is like vanilla ice cream with a hint of springlike earthiness. A lot like the scent of crushed or freshly-rained-on grass. The flavor is creamy, delicious vanilla followed by the oolong’s notes of hay. It’s almost like vanilla pudding or something like that.
This has inspired me to try more vanilla oolongs. It could be the beginning of a new favorite thing… Any recommendations?

Other than DavidsTea’s discontinued Vanilla Oolong (dark oolong), I actually don’t really know of any – and I love that profile, so it’s definitely on my radar!
